The engine oil cooler sits low and forward with almost nothing in front of it, and a single stone or piece of track debris through the core means an oil loss and a recovery truck. This guard removes that risk for a fraction of the cost of the repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Problem It Solves\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the G80 M3, G82 M4 and G87 M2, BMW mounts the auxiliary oil cooler in the lower front aperture where it takes the full force of road debris. The core is thin, unprotected and sits directly in the firing line of anything thrown up on a motorway or picked up off a circuit. Damage is common, and because the failure dumps oil, it usually happens at the worst possible moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAirflow Kept, Debris Stopped\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitting a solid plate would protect the cooler and cook the engine. The MMX guard instead uses an optimised hexagonal grille pattern that maintains the airflow the cooler needs while blocking the debris that damages it. The pattern is sized to stop the stone sizes that actually cause failures without restricting the core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade To Survive Underneath A Car\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guard is precision folded from 6061-T6 aluminium and finished in a durable black powder coat, so it resists both impact and the salt and grit thrown at it through a British winter. It fits directly to factory mounting points with all hardware supplied, requiring no cutting or drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects the exposed underbody engine oil cooler from stone and debris damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision folded from 6061-T6 aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable black powder coated finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimised hexagonal grille maximises airflow to the cooler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect OEM-fit – no cutting or drilling required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll required mounting hardware supplied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for track day and fast road use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e MMR13-1602\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6061-T6 aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct fit, hardware included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW G80 M3 and G81 M3 Touring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW G82 M4 and G83 M4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW G87 M2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the guard reduce oil cooling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The hexagonal grille is sized to maintain airflow through the core while stopping debris, rather than blanking it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs drilling required to fit it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The guard uses factory mounting locations and is supplied with all the hardware needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it worth fitting to a road-only car?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
